The ideal of
brotherhood of man, the building of the Just City, is one
that cannot be discarded without lifelong feelings of
disappointment and loss. But, if we are to live in the real
world, discard it we must. Its very nobility makes the
results of its breakdown doubly horrifying, and it breaks
down, as it always will, not by some external agency but
because it cannot work.
-- Kingsley Amis
1922-1995, British Novelist
The common
erotic project of destroying women makes it possible for men
to unite into a brotherhood; this project is the only firm
and trustworthy groundwork for cooperation among males and
all male bonding is based on it.
-- Andrea Dworkin
1946-, American Feminist
Critic
The principle
of the brotherhood of man is narcissistic... for the grounds
for that love have always been the assumption that we ought
to realize that we are the same the whole world over.
-- Germaine Greer
1939-, Australian Feminist
Writer
I have a dream
that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former
slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to
sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
-- Martin Luther King Jr.
1929-1968, American Black
Leader, Nobel Prize Winner, 1964
